What sort of thing do you like to do when you are away Spirit? You could do some great city breaks that time of year, but that's only if you like city breaks.

And then you came on here:).

What were you attempting in the garden? Ours is too waterlogged to step on.

I feel like I want to 'start growing something' but I have no idea where to start this year.

I thought I should remove last year's debris first :rotfl:

Wanted to get broad beans and peas in the raised beds but as I couldn't even lift the 15l compost bag I doubt i could have done much else today.

So I'm watching crap tv and feeling sorry for myself

I was reading quite old research on calorie restriction and health (in animals) when I was an undergrad. Five two, no, calorie restriction and fasting, yes. Its not so odd. Not like some weirder fad diets (only eating white food anybody? Maple syrup and cayenne pepper in water fasts? ) .

Almost all diets are just calorie restrictions, people just feeling hungry and doing more.

Cannot get on our borders to get rid of debris. Too wet still.

We spent the day in side. (Bar animal chores and DH doing one essential job). Just thinking about going out again.

There is a strange thing io cannot get my head round. I've been sorting out clothes getting rid of things I don't wear. Seeing I don't wear them, why do I feel left with less to wear? Very odd.

Indeed, I should have been more specific....:D. The very extreme calorie restrictions and impact are well researched in some animal subjects.

I've just been to Lisbon. First time for 20 years.

It's a great place to visit :T

I had a 28" waist aged 19, now it's 32".

So did I, and now it isn't

HID was 7 stone when I met her, 7 stone when we got engaged, 7 stone when we got married, 7 stone about a month after 1st SS was born, 7 stone about a month after 2nd SS was born, and is still 7 stone now.

I have always thought that she is somehow, not normal :eek: (were there any UFO sightings over Croydon in 1962 ??)

I've been the same weight since I was 15. People appear to think I've lost weight as I got older but I'd hate to remind them that they just got fatter :rotfl:

That's on my "to do" list. DH went for a concert and we've been trying to find a weekend to get away there.

Did you take a side trip to Sintra? I really want to go there. He did it as a side trip and loved it. The pics on tripadvisor look amazing:

Emotional attachment to clothes. I'm getting the spring cleaning feeling to chuck things away but this whole thing has thumped me. I'm like you, annoyed that I can't just be getting on but just can't do anything (but we have different conditions obvs)
